Troy was pretty bad as a rookie and seeing Moose, Woody and others on their early attempts was a little disconcerting. I don't see Emmitt being a natural like Irvin but he is a hard working guy who should get better and as he gains experience he will be more comfortable. Right now he is painfully stiff thats for sure.
Well, maybe I guess its an individual thing, but I had commented, way back when they did NFL Europe gigs, that Troy, Moose and Woody would be good.
I think several others thought the same too. I thought Moose was the best of them. Irvin never did NFLE gigs, but when he did analyst job during Gailey era, during his injury, I thought he was natural fit for what he is doing right now. Not the best Analyst, but more of an entertaining guy much like Bradshaw.
Emmit I always thought didn't or couldn't communicate well. Anyway, I completely disagree that Troy, Moose or Woody were stiff or weren't good whe they started. Sure they have gotten better at it than when they started, but one could see they were good even then. I just don't see that with Emmit, hopefully I am wrong, since I would like to see him suceed.
